Chapter Six – Looking
"Okay, what do you do if Remy goes to hit you like dis?" He stepped forwards and slowly reached out to hit Kate.
She reached out with right hand to grab him by the wrist as her left hand pushed on his elbow so he was forced to spin round so his back was faced her, and his arm was held behind him in an awkward and painful position.
Remy let out a painful chuckle and let out a ragged breath. "Well dats perfect." Kate blushed at his words and quickly let go of his arm. Remy straightened up and rubbed his arm and turned around to look at Kate. "Dat's absolutely perfect." This only made her the heat in her face rise as he looked straight into her eyes. She felt them bore into her, even though she was wearing the dark glasses so she couldn't see them.
She wouldn't dare say it out loud because she thought it would be too rude, especially since these people are excepting her into their family, but those glasses really annoyed her. She wished she could just see what his eyes were really like, he said they were grey but she had the strangest feeling that they couldn't be, grey seemed to boring and dull for his personality.
"Okay, now you done dat, what happens when Remy does it faster?" when he finished he quickly went to do what he did before. Kate reacted fast and grabbed his arm, twisting it and turning him around again. Now with more force and speed it sent him to the ground and he let out a cry in pain. Kate let go swiftly and went to ask him if he was okay, when he grabbed her by the waist and twisted her to the ground so she lay in front of him.
"Rule one; you don't worry 'bout de bad guy!"
Kate nodded and tried to get up, but Remy just held her there. She felt his eyes rake over her body and she lay frozen while he did it. With each breath she took, she felt something building up inside of her.
In almost a whisper he asked her, "What you gunna do now, Chere?"
She let out a gasp and for some reason; she swung her legs round and knocked him over to land over her. She then bought her knees up into his chest to push his off of her and over onto the floor beside her. Rolling she landed on him and held his legs down by hooking her ankles round his and his arms by holding him wrists down.
She gave him a devilish smirk but he just kept his calm. "Bon." He glanced down at her body above his and smirked back at her, "Very good."
"Watch ya tongue shugah." She said getting up from him.
He laughed and she felt her knees go weak. She reached down to help Remy up and he took her hand. But they quickly let go of each other when they both felt a pulling sensation. She bought her hand to her face and looked at it strangely, she just reached back down and offered her hand again to Remy.
Again he took it and he stood up next to her.
"Remy think dat be enough for de day." He said rubbing his forehead where a couple beads of sweat had formed.
"Oui…Yeah…." Kate said, she wiped her sweaty hands on her trousers and began to walk to the door. She left and passed Jean-Luc as he was walking into the gym room. She said hi to him and he gave her a brisk nod.
As he entered the gym he saw Remy grabbing a towel and wiping his sweat away, before going over to a weapons cupboard and grabbing a Bo staff. He turned around and saw Jean-Luc and dropped his arms and the Bo staff to his side.
Jean-Luc gave him a tilted look, and Remy understood the questioning gaze.
"She was better den Remy thought she would be. She knew everythin', an' did it ten times better. She even got Remy on de floor once. She be very good at de fightin'. Maybe we should test 'er other skills?"
Jean-Luc nodded at what Remy was saying. He had thought that she held fighting skills beyond what she let on or knew about. He knew that she would be great before he even had to test her skills. And even if they were bad he still would have liked to have her on his team, with those powers….who wouldn't? The fact she was good at fighting and maybe even thieving was an added bonus to him.
"Oui. So……dese powers……you have idea 'bout what dey are? How dey work? How she be so powerful?"
"Remy told you, he not gunna let you use 'er just for 'er powers."
"I'm not, boy. I just wonderin', we all thought you were powerful, but she like a livin' fire demon! We got to make sure she don't 'urt anyone like when we found 'er. I can't let 'er 'urt anyone like she almost did Mattie!"
Mattie was fine now, just a little shaken up after what happened. She had now been inside the southern wing, redecorating and improving it so it was livable. It had become her hobby and she had dragged many others into it as well.
"Mattie said it weren't Kate who did dat to 'er. It be somethin' else."
"Well, I don' want dat "Somethin' else" runnin' round killin' us."
Remy sighed and looked down at the staff in his hand, he started swinging it, and twirling it in his hands. "Non…….Remy don' know anythin' 'bout 'er powers. If you want dat, go to a mutant specialist."
Working in the business he did, he knew what "Mutant Specialists" did half the time. And he knew which ones to trust and which ones he did jobs for. "I just speak to 'er 'bout dem. I need to talk to 'er anyway, plus, she got to have 'er first meetin' with her new boss."
He heard Remy snort at this, he just ignored it and walked out with a heartily chuckle.
XxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXxXx
"Hey!" Merci's voice was heard round the corner, Kate smiled to herself and stopped and turned to see her standing a couple feet away. She was wearing a black pair of jeans and a green t-shirt that said, "Kitten" in silver letters. Kate shook her head at the shirt and smiled at her.
"Hey."
"Bon, I found you! Come." She grabbed Kate's hand and dragged her up to her room, which was in the East Wing. It was identical to her room, only the other way round. It was a purple room with all pine in it.
"What's up, Merci?" She asked and laughed at the panic stricken look on Merci's face.
"Help me, Henri an' me are going out 'night."
Kate laughed and nodded at her, walking over to her bed and sitting down on the edge of it, "'Kay, 'Henri an' Ah are going out tonight.' Not 'Henri an' meh' Gawd do ya'll not get taught English down 'ere?" Kate gave a sweet innocent smile, but Merci just glared at her.
"'Kay, but ah have no idea 'bout clothes!" Getting up she walked over to her wardrobe and opened it to reveal hundreds of shirts, t-shirts, skirts, trousers, and dress's and shoes. "Oh mah Gawd…." She gawked at the clothes.
Merci sighed and sat down on her bed and let out a frustrated growl that would have made Logan proud. 'Wait. Logan? Who the hell was that?'
"Do ya know a 'Logan'?" she asked, maybe it was just a name she had heard around the mansion.
Merci shot up. "Logan?" Kate nodded, but all she got was a confused look from Merci. Her shoulders sank and she turned back to the wardrobe.
Merci noticed this, and stood up walking over to her, "Come on now, why you ask dat? Must have been important, did you just get a memory?"
Kate nodded and took out a pale pink dress and held to up to Merci, she just shook her head and put her hand on Kate's shoulder, "Look, we're not gunna find any answers in there…." A smile graced her face and a spark in her eyes. Kate looked at her and was scared to think about what the other woman was thinking. "Let's go shopping!"

Logan growled as the X-Jet took off. He ran a hand through his hair and glanced at Ororo who was freakishly quiet.
"So…" he said, his voice gruff and held a slight tint of something else in it. "How you know this Jean Luke Leboo?"
Ororo sighed and flicked a switch on the control panel board, she turned around in her chair and look at Logan, her eyes held a misted tint to them and Logan glanced out the window to find it was starting to rain.
"Jean-Luc LeBeau. And I helped him out a life time ago."
"You think that…" he cleared his throat. He hadn't talked to anyone about Rogue. She was like a daughter to him. No, like a little sister, one that was an equal, yet he still hated to admit it or stop protecting her because of it. "That she might be there?"
Ororo's eyes turned back to there deep brown, she smiled at him and simple said. "Is? Unlikely. Think? Possible. Hope? Most definitely." Then she turned around again and checked a panel before walking to the back of the jet and pulling out a book.
Logan just stared at where she had sat with one eyebrow raised high, questioning what the hell she had just said and after about 5 minutes he came to the conclusion. "That's a load of crap, 'Roro"

Kate sat on a small white painted iron table outside a French tea shop. She had a delicate white china cup in her hand and she felt the warmth seeping through the cup and into her hands. She was wearing a pair of black jeans and a purple top with a light cream scarf, with roses all over it, around her neck. She smiled at the warmth of the sun streaming over her face and bare shoulders and arms. Even though it was sunny, there was still a light breeze so the weather was not over bearing.
Merci was sitting across from her, with a cup of coffee and Kate crinkled up her nose when she caught a smell of it. She wore the same clothes as before, only now she had a faded black jacket on over the top of her t-shirt. She had her hair up in a bun with a few strands of hair coming loose and she had a pair of sun glasses put up in it, being held by her hair.
Kate looked out at the busy street of New Orleans French Quarter. Everything was new to her, not even a small detail that was familiar. She didn't know where she came from, but by the way she smelt and saw things here she knew it mustn't be a place like this.
She turned to Merci and asked her a question. "Tell meh 'bout Jean-Luc. Ah get this feelin' off of him. Ah dunno what, but it jus' makes meh curious."
Merci looked at her and nodded, she understood what she meant, she had seen it whenever they were near each other, he would just stare at her and he had a strange glazed over look in his eyes, like he was thinking of something. "He is a great man. Very personal, very organized, not much of a life anymore, but he is still a great man. Middle child, took over de Guild after 'is pere died."
"Why didn't de older siblin' take over?"
Merci took a sip of her coffee, causing Kate to realize her mouth was dry so she took one of her own, "'Is frère died, went out an' got 'imself killed. Jean-Luc's petite soeur left after dat, so he was de only one who could take over."
Kate raised an eyebrow at her, "Freere? Pette sourer?"
Merci laughed and her mouth went wide when she realized she didn't know any French, "Frère means brother, petite soeur means little sister, it be French."
"Ah know its French, just didn't know what it all meant. Why did the sister leave?" Kate blushed.
Merci continued. "She got scared, she had a fiancé outside either guild, an she got worried 'bout 'is safety, she ran away with 'im, an' I guess you could say Jean-Luc never was de same. Buried 'imself in de work, de guild, tryin' to be de best an' never make mistakes like 'is frère did."
Kate's mouth formed a little 'o' and she sat back in her chair, thinking about what she had just been told, she felt pity and sadness for the older man but knew he wouldn't want it, so instead she just wondered about his sister.
Her thought were interpreted as a woman with long blonde hair walked over to Merci. Kate was taken back by how beautiful and stunning she was. Her long hair was perfect in the way to hung loosely and held where it was. She had big blue eyes that made her face delicate and pure. She wore a simple pair of jeans and a small pink top, but she made them look amazing. They hung to her faultless body and made Kate feel ugly and dull.
She sat down on the chair in between her and Merci and tossed a bit of blonde hair over her shoulder. "Merci!" she said in a high pitched voice, she seemed happy and excited to see her. "Long time, what you been up to? Dat boy popped de question yet?"
Merci smiled at the woman and shook her head. "Non, 'de boy' hasn't, but who said I wanted 'im to? An' I ein't been up to much, just showin' Kate 'ere roud de Quarter." She held up her hand to show the woman Kate. Kate just gave her a weak smile and said a small hello to her. She couldn't help but feel unattractive and tiny next to this woman.
The woman turned round and flashed Kate a huge smile and revealed her perfect white teeth. "'Ello, I'm Bella, you be Kate?"
Kate nodded and tucked a bit of hair behind her ear, self consciously.
"Non, don't do dat!" she exclaimed, reaching over to Kate she took the bit of hair from behind her ear and let it fall to the side of her face. She smiled and sat back, "It look better when it frame your face. You lucky, you got high cheek bones. Me, I got a round face."
Kate's eyes widened and she looked strangely at her. She never really noticed her cheeks before, she lifted a hand and touched her cheek bone and smiled slightly. "Thank ya."
Bella just gave her a big smile and turned to Merci and asked her a silent question, which she nodded to. Then she turned back to look at her and gave her a quick look over. "You be thief?"
Kate looked at her, perplexed, "Yeah."
"You trainin' or trained?"
"Trainin'." Kate wondered why she was asking her all of these questions. "You thief?"
Bella let out a huge laugh and shook her head. "Non, I be 'sassin."
"Oh." Kate's mouth formed a little 'o' and she suddenly got worried about her safety.
Merci and Bella laughed at this and Merci smiled to her and said, "Don' worry, if she wanted to kill you, you wouldn' even thin' or know it."
Kate gave a sarcastic smile. If that was supposed to make her feel better, it really didn't work. Bella saw this and smiled and decided to change the subject. "How Remy?"
At his name, Kate straightened up and became more interested in the conversation.
Merci smiled and replied, "He bon. He be de one trainin' Kate. Why don' you two go out 'gain? He been real lonely."
Kate felt her heart sink. She knew Remy was too good to be true, of course he had to have someone beautiful nice and sexy waiting for him. And Bella was it, she was gorgeous and all of those things. How could she even think that she could have a chance? He was just being friendly, he didn't really like her. His father mostly likely is making him be nice and make her feel welcomed. Why would he even want someone as dull and young and feeble as her when he could have a sexy, elegant, stunning woman like Bella?
Bella made a sort of groaning noise. She scrunched up her nose and wiggled her mouth in a cute bunny looking way. "Mon Deau, me an' Remy are just not right together. We want different thin's an'-"
Merci interrupted her and held up her hands in frustration, "But you were so alike!"
Bella sighed, "Dat was de problem."
Kate heard the sadness in her voice. And was about to say something when Merci spoke again.
"We goin' to go shoppin' in a minute. I need a new dress for mon dat 'night an' Kate 'ere, needs some more thin's like make up an' assossires an' clothes. Oh! An' how could I forget, Shoes!"
Kate and Bella looked at each other and let out a groan. She didn't know who she was, but Kate was sure she was never a big fan of shopping and shoes.
